« Last post by prussia on January 18, 2020, 02:40:05 am »i’m adding TW: because i realized i’m literally triggering myself a little by posting this. i’m literally afraid for my life to link their social media or post any names they do or have gone by.

i’m not meaning to start drama this is just the real reason for me and probably for alot of other people. to be frank i’m probably never going to kumoricon ever again, yeah it was really fun a couple times but its full of pedophiles. when i was 15 i had a 22 year old lie to me about their age to date me saying they had just turned 18, and starting at age 15 a 20 year old started grooming me to trust them as my best friend and number one source of knowledge and opinions, while additionally pressuring me up until i finally turned 18 to date them. both of which i met through kumoricon and cosplay meetups i set up through the kumoricon forums. the second person mentioned begged me every day to break up with my boyfriends and to date them and that something must be wrong with /me/ for not trying to date them. at the time i was under the age of consent and they were nearly old enough to buy liquor. i literally wanted to kill myself during and after both of these instances, one of which lasted about 5 years(the second person mentioned.) when i finally was at the my breaking point and just had turned 18 they really started putting the pressure on me more and more and i finally just agreed to date them after being convinced that otherwise i’d be alone forever. after a couple weeks i tried to respectfully break up with them and stay friends and they went wild on me, stole 200$ from me 200$ from my grandparrents locked my esa (emotional support animal) out of out apartment, broke a bunch of my stuff, broke my bed in and stole a ton of cosplay and other stuff that i can’t even think about but slowly notice over the years(i was so heartbroken and afraid for my animal when they did this that i literally didn’t even count my stuff when i packed my bags and moved out in 3 days)
after i broke up with him and decided i wanted to have a chance to date people my
own age for once he started stalking me and my partners online, messaging me threatening to beat me and kill me and telling me, my family memebers and my partners throughout the years following to kill ourselves. he literally messaged me saying he was going to beat me to a pulp and get his cosplay friends and his siblings to beat me bloody if they ever saw me again especially at a convention. and if i report it the death threats are probably going to start avalanching in on me again, plus i’m nervous nothing would be able to be done because i didn’t actually allow him to date me until after i was 18, even though he was constantly flirting with me, asking me about my sexual fantasys, touching my legs and arms sensually and asking me to undress in front of him on multiple occassions before i was 18. both of these people have also changed their names countless times, and even their gender orientation a fee times to try to escape their reputations, and any repercussions. i’m nervous too for the kids that have to be exppsed to people like this. i’ve seen both the people i’ve mentioned and many other adults at kumoricon flirt with minors and try to play it off as a joke or a game, unfortunately as a teenager i was stupid enough to fall for it and stupid enough to believe the bad people when they said what they were doing was ok. its not a game and honestly if someone is acting like your comfort level is a game thats even a bigger sign that they are unsafe!
it makes me so sad because i literally started going to anime conventions to escape bullying in high school
and middle school, and now i feel like literally because i choose not to date an adult as minor and when i was barely legal continued to express discomfort in it i feel like worse than bullying will happen to me at a con like i’m seriously worried that i’ll be hospitalized or killed because i expressed discomfort, and i think everyone should have the right to their comfort and no one should have to feel harassed as minors or even as adults sexually or romantically or otherwise tbh. At the moment the only anime convention i feel comfortable going to is sakuracon, and i’m still nervous daily and have nightmares about it nightly, and being assulted at con. i pray to goodness that someday i regain the courage to go to other anime conventions again, but at the moment as it stands i could never see myself paying to go to kumoricon ever again. and thats the sad reality of my kumoricon experience.
i used to set up monthly and biweekly cosplay meets via the forums and i would not reccomend it to anyone who cannot afford to set up proper security or in an area where law officials would be able to make a change the second it becomes necessary.

You're right. I see that now.
